Cloud has been through the hype; the wars are over; the main players are cemented in position. Which means most businesses have two pressing concerns…

We know we need to move, we’re not sure how

Today, clear-eyed organisations are asking what customers expect, and how do they leverage the power of the cloud to innovate and exceed those expectations. They are looking at the cloud application by application, considering what works best as well as assessing performance benchmarks, network requirements, evaluating their appetite for risk, and whether cloud vendors are competitors (or likely to become competitors in the future). Do you have a solid business case?

We know things move fast, what is the near future of cloud?

The future of cloud is hybrid and multi-cloud. But the future of cloud isn’t about hybrid and multi-cloud. In five years’ time, terminology like hybrid-IT, multi cloud and managed services, will be a thing of the past. It will be a given, there won’t just be one cloud solution, or one data solution, it will be about how clouds connect and about maximising how networks are used. What does the future of cloud mean for your business?
